Hardware Monitoring

Automatic Monitoring

Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message. (In the case of an over-threshold temperature condition, the chassis displays an amber TEMP LED in addition to sending a trap.)

LEDs

LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the chassis front panel. LEDs are used to indicate conditions such as hardware and software status, temperature errors, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed LED descriptions, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware Components.”

User-Driven Monitoring

User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to the console. Monitoring information for chassis components such as the optional back up power supply, chassis temperature sensor, and chassis fans is provided in Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware Components.” Show commands for all features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
